A Baroque Setting in Périgord Vert
Founded in 2002 by the renowned Dutch conductor and harpsichordist Ton Koopman, the Itinerary Baroque in Périgord festival has become one of the major events for early music in France. Every summer, the festival takes over ten heritage sites in Périgord Vert — Romanesque churches, chapels, and castles — to offer around forty concerts.
An Excellent Program
The festival brings together over 100 international artists and highlights young ensembles alongside world-renowned groups like the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir. The repertoire explores the richness of baroque music, from Monteverdi to Bach, including Vivaldi, Handel, and the French masters of the 17th century.
A Traveling Festival in Heritage Sites
